There are many different "standard" pallets on the market. In the United States of America, by far the most popular pallets you will see will be the Grocery manufacturers' Association (GMA) 48" x 40" pallet. This pallet is used mainly in the grocery industry, as well as many big box retailers. The discount retailer Costco also has their own specific standard pallet that must be used on their products. Below is a list of the global "standard" pallets.
